    Jabba The Hunk

    Jabba The Hunk

    Whilst Australians don't get into Halloween like Americans do (possibly because we've never actually burned any witches, who knows?), we still don't mind the occasional dress up. Dress up parties are often an excuse to live out a dark, long held fantasy. The burgeoning world of cosplay that is blossoming across the convention world is another way that people share their love of of wearing and becoming the fantastical. Hell, some fans are defined by the clothes they wear - Firefly fans are known...

    Daybreakers 'Vampire World' Trailer is Awesome - and Aussie!

    As the world endures Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, it's good to know that interesting movies ARE out there. Case in point, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell, which has been getting rave reviews, and now the Ethan Hawke starrer, Daybreakers. Hawke is back in the Sci Fi world on an Earth where nearly everyone is a vampire - and the supply of fresh human blood is running out. Both an awesome spin on the vampire flick and a neat little cypher for the approaching peak oil problem, when the Earth,...

    Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Review

    Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Review

    Starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Turturro Director Michael Bay Rated PG Out June 24 This isn't so much a sexist, racist melange, but an insult to people everywhere. Which is pretty impressive, given it's just meant to be a popcorn-muncher about robots that become cars and other assorted vehicles. Aimed at spoiled ten year olds (yes, it's aimed at people who have less discretion than amped up 14 year olds) this brings back the mediocrity that so many fanboys remember from the...
